How did a degenerate like Jim Marzilli ever get elected to any office, even one as inconsequential as Massachusetts state senator?

The answer is simple: We live in a democracy. The people get what they deserve. How do you like it now, moonbats of Arlington?

As it turns out, some seem to like it just fine. Many would still vote for the groper. And if you want to know just how loony the moonbat left has become in Massachusetts, you should check out their Web sites. Heres a typical Arlington moonbat named Eric:

I want to explain something to conservatives who are lamenting a double standard or lack of outrage over Marzillis alleged actions. As a liberal I try to save my moral outrage for the big issues. . . . If a politician is cheating on his wife, or running amock (sic) grabbing at women, it just seems so petty in comparison.

Unless of course youre the groped woman. Now that the lewd dude is in the loony bin, his PC fellow travelers are disappointed by his possible successors.

A few platitudes, Nate wrote of their campaign literature, nothing on very important issues like global warming. Just wondering, but when does the state Senate vote on the Kyoto protocols? But if you post a comment like that, the moonbats go crazy. Just calling them moonbats, by the way, is hate speech. As far as the moonbats are concerned, even the word downfall is out of bounds.

Downfall is a pretty strong and hurtful word, one wrote, for a dedicated public servant who has fallen ill. Fallen ill? He dresses up like a bum, makes obscene comments to woman after woman and tries to grab them. Some illness. But back to global warming.

In my neighborhood, someone named Adam wrote, where there is already significant flooding, climate change is a local issue.

Buy a sump pump and shut up.

Not everybody in Arlington is a trust-funded, prescription-medicated, 50-year-old mitten-knitter. After Marzilli was admitted to the loony bin, one woman wrote, If you are going to send him any type of card, dip into your Monopoly game and reach for the Go to Jail card. Thats where he belongs.

You can imagine the flaming she got. She was accused of every moonbat crime except saying Merry Christmas instead of Happy Winter Solstice.

Heres a message from Rosina: I wish Jim Marzilli and his family only the best.

Not one word about his victims.

Whatever may be the exact issue of where this is all coming from, how it developed, etc. etc. is really none of anyones business.

The problem isnt just Arlington. Marzillis case would have gone up before the Senate Ethics Committee, which most recently dealt - or should I say, didnt deal with - Sen. Dianne Wilkerson of Roxbury. She was briefly sentenced to a halfway house, which was a step up from her two predecessors, both of whom did time in prison.

Then theres Lowell, the scene of Marzillis final gropings. The Mill City had a run where two of its three senators went to the can. One of them, Paul Sheehy, was actually elected after he was paroled from Danbury.

Last week, I was checking the record of the Dukakis judge who cut Sen. Groper loose on $1,500 bail. His name is Neil Let em Walk Walker. On a list of the witnesses for Let em Walk Walker at his 1985 judicial confirmation hearing is none other than the aforementioned felon, Paul Sheehy.

So having Marzilli appear before him was not the judges first brush with a bent solon. I called the judicial spokesman to find out if jailbird Sheehy had indeed appeared on behalf of Let em Walk Walker.

I was in grad school at BU at the time of Nixon's rout of McGovern. A few of the grad students were talking about it (I was too outnumbered to say anything), and one of them -- a true moonbat before the term existed -- said, "Massachusetts really is the most liberal state . . . but it's also the most corrupt! I just don't understand it . . ." LOL!

Howie’s show goes off at 5:30 on WRKO on Tue and Thu due to a change in the time of the Red Sox games. Normally the game
would begin at 7 pm/pregame at 6:30 but Red Sox are moving it back to 6 pm...because the Celtics have 9 pm Finals games
those nights. See below.

Tue June 10 & Thu June 12:
—Goes off WRKO at 5:30 pm Tune to WCRN which at least will
carry the 5:30-6 pm segment. Then THEY have to go to the Sox
game. Online streaming is poss., as are other stations
that carry Howie beyond 6 pm.

From Red Sox MLB:
BOSTON - ...So it’s fitting as the Celtics move their series back to Los Angeles for Games 3 and 4 on Tuesday and Thursday that the Sox are remaining committed to making their own games overlap as little as possible. Boston announced Monday that its Tuesday and Thursday tilts with the Baltimore Orioles have been shifted to begin one hour earlier than scheduled, both beginning at 6:05 p.m. ET.

The NBA Finals games held on those nights will begin at 9 p.m. ET in Los Angeles.

It’s the same time-shift that the Sox initiated in their series finale with Tampa Bay on Thursday, which originally overlapped with Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Both the Red Sox’s and Celtics’ games were played in Boston that night, making it conceivable that fans could make it to both games if they had tickets to do so.

Does Howie Carr not know that Jeff Beatty is running on the GOP side for Senator Kerry’s seat? Howie keeps saying that nobody is running on the GOP side for this U.S. Senate seat while also having Kerry’s Democratic Primary opponent, Ed O’Reilly, on his show! What’s going on?

(Vote for conservatives AT ALL POLITICAL LEVELS! Encourage all others to do the same on November 4!)

He may not be aware (if he is, he’s ignoring him). Maybe
some of Jeff’s supporters will contact Howie, etc. Those
registered as “Unenrolled” could vote for O’Reilly (take a
Dem ballot) in the primary if they wish (to give Kerry
a scare?) but Beatty does indeed exist on the final
ballot (he’s unopposed in the GOP primary due to
Ogonowski falling short of nomination signatures)

Afraid so. Technically they’re the flagship of the Red
Sox network though weekday _afternoon_ games and Wed.
night games run on WEEI instead. (You may recall in 2007
Howie’s show got pre-empted quite a bit by Red Sox
spring training). We have had to put up with the last half
hour of Howie’s show being taken off WRKO because they have
to run the Sox pre-game (but not on Wednesdays). WCRN
wasn’t carrying the pre-game so they’re presented as an
alternative.

But now these two games have been pushed back an hour
because the Sox don’t want a conflict with the Celtics.
(Celts will air on WEEI, but the Sox want THEIR game
over by 9, etc.)

Keep in mind:
—WRKO program director Jason Wolfe also runs WEEI
and is quite familiar with sports and no doubt
wants them on WRKO, too
—many talk stations find that after 7 pm there isn’t
as much of an audience for talk, so they run sports
instead and try to pick up THAT audience.
Savage does OK on WRKO but Sox do even better (ratings).
As it is, they run Savage on tape delay after the game.

And so we’re stuck with the flagship station of the Howie
network having to pre-empt him for the Sox!

This is John Forbes Kerrys worst nightmare: Hes going to have to spend the summer campaigning . . . on the mainland.

Fall River, Chicopee, Haverhill, Lynn, Fitchburg - not a single one of those sweaty cities has any windsurfing worth a damn, not to mention a Ducati motorcycle dealer, damn, but Liveshot is going to spend the next three months pressing the flesh in those wretched burgs, searching in vain for a proper nouvelle cuisine brassiere while enduring the foul breath of the plebeians . . .

Stand by, Sen. Kerry, for an endless schedule of kielbasa festivals, parades, motorcycle rallies, town concerts, fireworks displays, questionnaires from special-interest groups and maybe even, gulp, a televised debate or two. Kerrys already had to endure a Celtics [team stats] playoff game. Instead of the Inn at Wauwinet, this summer Kerry will be dining at Coney Island Hot Dog in Worcester. Next thing you know, some beer-guzzling peasant in a No. 12 Patriots jersey is going to be asking him about . . . baseball.

Lovey, does Manny Ortiz still play for the Red Sox ?

And Liveshot knows who is responsible for this living hell that he now must endure all the way to the primary Sept. 16. It is Ed OReilly. The Gloucester lawyer will be on the ballot against him in the Democratic primary.

Ed OReilly. How dare this Hibernian parvenu dare to run against John F. Kerry, Americas Gigolo? How dare 22.8 percent of the delegates to the state convention vote for this, this . . . arriviste?

That phrase in the first paragraph, on the mainland, that comes from OReilly. He used it when I was talking to him the other night. Hes got Kerrys number all right. Hes a bit of a moonbat, I suppose, but when you get somebody whos running against Liveshot whos willing to play the class card, I can overlook a lot.

He knows how to push the buttons that will drive Kerry crazy, which is what is going to wreck Liveshots summer. There wont be much time for Kerry on the Let It Be, just because OReilly wouldnt let it be. Why, OReilly is even ready to talk about Naushon Island, the personal preserve of the Forbes family.

He always says he was raised on the Cape, OReilly says. Yeah, he was raised on this island, which if you or I take a little skiff across the water and try to land on that island, people are going to come out onto the beach and tell us were trespassing.

OReilly says, about five weeks ago, he was leaving a Democratic meeting at the Hudson Portuguese Club when he ran into his opponent arriving. Here is his recollection of the conversation:

OReilly: I guess well be seeing a lot of each other.

Kerry: Not for long, I hope.

Sorry, Liveshot, you lose!

The bottom line is, hes arrogant, OReilly says. The rules dont apply to him. He announces, theres a thousand-dollar minimum to attend, if you want to go to the private reception its $2,300. Do you know how many people I talk to who say the only place theyve ever seen him is at the airport? . . . He flies down to Bali to give a speech on global warming - how many gallons of fuel do you think that used, just so he could say he delivered a speech?

Im sure OReilly is nowhere in the polls right now, but this is a perfect opportunity for mischief - this could become a Massachusetts version of Operation Chaos, the meddling of local Republicans in a Democratic primary, the way Rush Limbaugh tried to keep Hillary Clinton alive through April and May.

John Kerry, OReilly continued, will go whichever way the wind blows for his own political advantage.

The list of adjectives to describe this moron is endless, endless I tell ya! John gigilo kerry, the gift that just keeps on giving.....it's gonna be a very entertaining summer here in MA and I'm sure mamaT will make appearances here and there, ah yes, memories of elections past are flooding back! I wonder how the gin and raisins are doing.....

Well, I'm an Independent (or Unenrolled, as we say in MA) -- O'Reilly sounds well worth a primary vote, even if he is a moonbat on policy -- I hope he has plenty of money to run a well-publicized campaign! :)

for Ingraham fans; kind of like the situation with Howie
last year (benched by her employer, only in Laura’s case
I don’t know if she can be forced back on against her will)

IMPORTANT NOTE TO LAURA INGRAHAM SHOW LISTENERS
Reports are circulating in the press that I “took a leave of absence” or walked out on my radio show. As I wrote in this space earlier this week, that is false. The decision to remove the Laura Ingraham Show from the airwaves was made unilaterally by Talk Radio Network as a tactic in contract negotiations, against my will and over my protest. Additionally, any notion that I am leaving radio is also completely false. After all my years on the air, you know that I would never voluntarily abandon you during such a critical time for our country. Power to the People.

Thu ping. Due to Celics game, Red Sox game pushed back to
6 pm. Thus WRKO goes to Sox pregame at 5:30 but you can
still listen on WCRN—once again tonight WCRN will
NOT carry Sox game but will carry Celts SO...WCRN has
Howie till 7. AM 830.

THIS FRIDAY JOIN HOWIE ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL AS HE TAKES THE SHOW ON THE ROAD AT THE HARD ROCK CAFÉ, 24 CLINTON STREET, IN BOSTON. COME ON DOWN ENJOY SOME GREAT FOOD AT THE NEW HARD ROCK. YOU CAN EVEN VOTE FOR HIM ON SITE. MAKE SURE YOU TUNE IN THIS FRIDAY THE 13TH!

Three-time convicted drunk driver C.W. Tolbert Jr. is darned lucky he commits his crimes in the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts, where in the halls of justice the only justice is in the halls.

Because in some states, this bum might have been looking at some serious prison time after he got drunk as a skunk last year and ran over an on-duty firefighter in Milton, leaving the jake in a coma for months, without a pulse for almost half an hour and minus 80 percent of his blood. Both of Antonio Pickens legs were broken and he almost lost his right arm. Hes still recovering.

In a sane society, there would have been hell to pay for the tosspot Tolbert.

Luckily for Tolbert, though, he doesnt live in a sane society, he lives in Massachusetts. And so he drew as his judge one of the Beautiful People - Janet Sanders, daughter of a liberal Texas Congressman named Barefoot Sanders who worked as a White House aide to LBJ.

The district attorney of Norfolk County, Bill Keating, asked that Tolbert be sentenced to five-to-seven years in state prison. At sentencing Tuesday, the silver-spoon judge disagreed. Running over somebody while drunk, for the third time, why, its just one those things, just one of those crazy things.

It was thoughtlessness, the judge said. Carelessness, she added.

But a prison sentence? No, better that Mr. Tolbert remain in the House of Correction, she ruled. Three years in jail, instead of seven in prison. You might say the congressmans privileged daughter threw the book at Tolbert - a comic book.

This is one crackpot judge you cant blame on Mike Dukakis, who appointed the bleeding heart who cut alleged groper Sen. Jim Marzilli loose on $1,500 bail last week. Barefoots daughter picked up both her black robes from Republican governors.

But in an amazing coincidence, the judge is married to one Charles DeWitt, which happens to be the name of a Massport hack in the Dukakis era. A call was placed to the judicial spokesman inquiring whether the judge is in fact married to Chip DeWitt of Dukakis infamy.

The call was not returned.

When Sanders was first nominated for a district-court judgeship, back in 1994 by GOP Gov. Bill Weld, she listed her husband Charles DeWitt, as making contributions to, among others, the Mass. Democratic Committee, Dollars for Democrats, Ted Kennedy, Clinton for President, Jim Brett (the Bulger candidate for mayor in 1993) and future Democratic candidates for governor Shannon OBrien, Tom Birmingham and Mark Roosevelt.

When applying for a judgeship, after all, it never hurts to have yourself or your spouse listed as an early contributor to the governor, who appoints judges. At the very least, it cant hurt, and if you dont believe me, just ask Margot Botsford of the SJC.

Another thing you need when you go before the Governors Council for your confirmation hearing - witnesses. Among those testifying on behalf of the congressmans daughter was Gerry Leone, then an assistant DA in Middlesex. Leone is now the elected DA who recently decided not to prosecute the Prius-driving perv Sen. Marzilli after he was lugged for groping the first woman in Arlington. Leones decision to broom the earlier case gave Sen. Grope-zilla the opportunity to take his sick act on the road to Lowell. Sanders and Leone, birds of a feather flocking together.

In 2001, another nationwide search commenced. Janet Sanders was elevated to the Superior Court by none other than Jane Swift.

Back to the triple drunken-driver Tolbert, who is now living large at the Dedham House of Correction. According to the Milton PD incident report, he was so loaded he didnt even know hed hit anybody.

He knew his windshield (was) smashed in. He thought someone had thrown something at his car so he pulled over. . . I asked Tolbert if he ever saw the victim crossing the street or on the side of the road and he stated no. 

How thoughtless of Tolbert to be that drunk and behind the wheel. How careless - and for the third time at that.

Then he stated he had 3 or 4 beers at his mothers house in Boston. Heinekens. In the trunk they found another Heineken. In the back seat, covered by a coat, was a 16-ounce can of Olde English Malt Liquor. The cop asked him to count from 80 to 65 backward - Tolbert skipped numbers 67 and 66. Once he reached 65 he continued counting till 60.

The cops then called Tolberts girlfriend, who owned the car hed used to mow down Antonio Pickens.

She stated something to the effect of he had too much to drink and I thought he was going to sleep it off out in the car.

Too bad more of our governors dont take that advice when theyre appointing judges.

show ping, also Randi Goldklank has left Ch 7 and her
case has been continued without a finding

http://www.bostonherald.com
Under an agreement reached in East Boston District Court this morning, the general manager of Channel 7 has to apologize to the Logan International Airport state police troopers and airline employees she offended during an ugly episode that led to her high-profile arrest and ultimately her resignation.

I have decided to resign my position at WHDH/WLVI to continue to focus on getting healthy, said Randi Goldklank, 40, said in a statement her attorney read just minutes after she put the charges behind her.

At some point, she wants to return to broadcasting work, according to the statement.

Goldklank, 40, who carried a Coach bag and wore a sharp gray business suit and high-heeled brown leather sandals to court, admitted to facts sufficient for a finding of guilty on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest stemming from an April 20 incident aboard a Delta flight. A charge of assault and battery on a police officer was dismissed.

Her case was continued without a finding for one year, during which time she must abstain from alcohol and non-prescription drugs and enter and a complete substance abuse treatment program, according to court documents. She was ordered to apologize to state police and Delta employees and pay restitution for breaking State Trooper Gray Hodgdons glasses during her arrest.

A police report stated that during the incident, she broke the troopers glasses and screamed, Do you know who the (expletive) I am? The police report also indicated that Goldklank reeked of booze and that troopers believed her to be drunk.

Following her arrest, Goldklank was put on administrative leave and sought medical treatment.

In a statement issued this morning, Channel 7 owner Ed Ansin said: This has been an unfortunate circumstance. Randi Goldklank is a talented executive. We wish her great success.

Goldklanks attorney, David Eisenstadt, made a brief statement after the court hearing.

I saw it on FR, probably immediately after it showed up on Drudge. As someone posted, the delay in broadcast news reporting was probably that it had been leaked to Drudge before the family was notified.

I noticed Howie just did the bare bones announcement right before the break. But it occurs to me -- isn't Howie just about the same age?
